And these were both already posted without linking to your site.

The links posted directly from ebay will not work in 30 days. The links from my site (and all their content and info) will be there for life.

He was merely pointing out that they were already posted, then of course those links won't last forever ...

Anyway, only 30 days ? Not true !

Actually it is less than 30 days. Ebay will have completed listings available for 15 days in the music category

"Search completed listings" by the ebay option is one thing, DIRECT LINKS are another ... this is from February for example http://www.ebay.it/itm/ws/160730742464

I don't see it on your database ^^ a 581$ cd !

Some direct links disappear quickly (but always work for more than 1 month, anyway), some last several months ...

There are even more extreme examples, this auction is 1 year old and still up http://www.ebay.it/itm/330551043274 (surely an ebay database glitch)

Why would you need to go back and view past auctions in this thread for more then two months anyways? All of these ending prices are far from the regular going rate most of the time and only act as a quick laugh rather then a reliable reference point. Posting the same auctions more then once is redundant.

Possibly because it's deleted now?

These are links from the Italian ebay so I assume different rules might apply. The truth is that the vast majority of "direct ebay links" (after the auction ends thus "completed listings") will not work, meaning you will be taken to an empty ebay page. You can just browse and try the links at the old "Insane Ebay Auctions" thread here at the corroseum.

Indeed that CD is not on our database like several others due to some limitations on the volume of past auctions we are allowed to grab.

People are going back to view old threads in the forums for whatever reasons. Just recently here in this forum threads have been ressurected that were inactive for several months. I have to say that I didn't see those same auctions posted before I posted mine but nevertheless my links will keep all their content and info when the direct ebay links will take visitors to an empty page.

Change .it to .com (or .de or co.uk or whatever) in the links and they work exactly the same ^^

Those are old 2011 auctions, I never said that those links last forever, most of the 2012 links still work btw

the link in the first post is still up for example, 6 January 2012 !
